Eye, eye (2)

At moment I have 20 drops a day for each eye. My eyes feel raw and wrung out, they surely must be pickled in preservative by now. The steroid ointment last thing at night I almost look forward to cos it is so soothing - and messy - almost impossible not to get over your entire face. The whole regime is beginning to feel like a Big Brother task, I have to set my alarm for first thing to make sure I don't miss a dose. I try to sleep again for an hour, then the alarm mee-maws into my soul like an ambulance. I am bleary eyed and blurry eyed, cursing that I need to wake up. Meanwhile, I've asked everyone to email me in big fonts - 14 is perfect but some emails are giving me a fright they are so BIG. For some reason, emails from Macs are tiny or huge.

Poor you. They are horrible aren't they. My son has really suffered these past fews months. Finally we're on the home straight and he only has to have them once a day until September but by them it will have been 9 months of drops (don't worry -- it won't be the same for you: different eye condition).

Hope it's al over soon

oh, cusp, your poor boy, 9 months, that is just dreadful. i guess it was infection that caused it? i think i have inflammation without infection.

i am being reviewed tomorrow, hopefully the steroid drops are calming things down, they doubled the dose on monday cos my left eye had become worse...

i am getting pretty fed up with the whole thing, the dilation drops especially, it is so exhausting not being able to see properly.

What a drag. Hope things turn out a little easier after the review - and, of course, that your eyes are getting better in themselves.
